Unfortunately have to slum it around Riviera for the practice round Had a great time today walking the course and taking pics.  This was my first time being at Riviera and the course is amazing.  Firont nine is incredible imo.  Each hole has it's own feel and character.  I'm going to post the player's pics first and then the course pics and the second post.

Video of pro's swings can be found on this thread http://thesandtrap.com/t/64790/pga-tour-pro-swings-thread-2013-northern-trust-open...enjoy!

Love this tournament!  Watched some of the replay of last year's final round last night and was reminded how difficult the course is.  The winner(s) last year finished 72 holes at 7 under par!  How of

Great pics! Riviera is a very good test of golf, and it gets forgotten in the early-season schedule. The field for this year's event is very strong, and I'm looking forward to seeing Luke Donald and a few others for the first time this season. Lee Westwood played okay at Pebble, but I'm picking him to contend and possibly win this week.

Monday is usually a slow day, most guys don't even play 18 and some of the bigger name guys don't even show up until Tuesday.  Security told me to park wherever I wanted, drove right in the front gate.  Tomorrow's a different story.  If you really want to see what the best players in the world look like and how they hit it, practice days are the best, especially Tuesdays.  No Pro-Ams on Tuesday lol

Thanks for the pictures and close-ups of the player's bag. Love those Titleist wedges.

I enjoy practice rounds - I've gone to the Players', Masters, Bayhill, and a few others (Champions Tour, Euro Tour), and have always had a better time than during the actual tournament.  Players are relaxed, often talk to spectators, and you get some good opportunities for pictures.

The tour comes to my neck of the woods in a few weeks, and I'll be out there in full force. Pretty pathetic being a golf groupie.

Love this tournament!  Watched some of the replay of last year's final round last night and was reminded how difficult the course is.  The winner(s) last year finished 72 holes at 7 under par!  How often does that happen outside of the Opens?

Love the 10th hole ... the "driveable" (though not really) par 4 that is barely over 300 yards and isn't even remotely close to being considered an easy "birdie" hole.  The 18th and it's natural ampitheater setting is also a fantastic way to finish.

Why am I sitting here at work instead of out there at the course?  Hmmm ... I got no answer to that.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
